Winning is a Habit !!
Nice review!
I got a question: what about pimple rubbers with this polyball? Have you tried?
Greetings
Nice question. I want to know that too.How many brands started to make poly balls?
This is a bizarre situation, why we should accept these new rules, the characteristics of the current ball are crucial for the different types of game. The polly ball does not feet with our sport and the answer is easy…..it is not spinny!!!
Are there any consistent reasons that justify this change?
Yes there are a couple reasons.
First of all the celluloid is infammable.
In some countries the production is not allowed due to the fact that acetone is used in manufacture.
At least thats what i read

Totally agreeI doubt that that would be reason enough to ban manufacturing. After all handling any petroleum product, manufacturing explosives or even nuclear bombs are very dangerous yet ways are found.
How many brands started to make poly balls?
No, its not because saving money by using only one shell. Most of the poly balls have seems like old balls.I heard that it's even because celluloid balls are made in two parts while poly just one shell and so they save money and materials...
But I'm against changing ball too, actually the game could be completely revolutionized because of the lack of spin. I think that fast rubbers will be more used than tacky ones and the game will be much faster.
Someone on another forum identified that there are only 4 manufacturers.Tibhar, Joola, Andro, Donic, Nittaku, Stiga, DHS, Double Fish, Butterfly, Cornilleau, Giant Dragon, Hanno, Kinson, Palio, Sunflex, TSP and Xushaofa have all had their plastic balls approved by the ITTF. The German brands are just starting to become available in Europe but the Chinese and Japanese brands haven't reached us yet - I'd expect this to look very different come August or September.
